Chapter 183: The Seventh Area

The snow was ferocious.

The concrete walls in the ruins were covered by a layer of ice and the dangling steel beams were frozen into crystalline rods.

Below, ragged figures strolled. There was an unhealthy color on their faces, and their expressions were frozen numb. The heavy loads on their backs crushed their spine and knees.

The person standing on the side was evidently the mutated human supervisor.

For slaves of mutated human, the only escape was to be picked at around 30 years of age through pure luck. From there, finish the breeding mission, immerse in the growth vial, and to be ”reborn.”

As for the people who were not so lucky, their fate was usually tragic…

Since the growth vial and growth solution were limited, not everyone had rights to become a mutated human. Mutated humans also needed to maintain a population of slaves in order to complete the dreadful tasks that none of them wanted to do and at the same time, the mutated humans needed a source of entertainment.

Standing at the door of the encampment, Troy grimly watched the frail figures as he turned around to look at the human beside him.

That’s right. Beside him, a human stood!

Any survivor in Wanghai city who happens to witness this scene would drop their jaws. Based on common sense, there was no possibility of negotiation between a mutated human and a human, let alone for them to stand side by side.

This person wore a fur coat and the red ring on his finger was quite distinctive. Anyone with the right knowledge would shockingly discover that the white fur on his collar belonged to the mane of the Bloodthirsty Lion.

As the king of dangerous creatures, Bloodthirsty Lions could combat five Death Claws simultaneously. Their sharp teeth were like blades that could easily rip through power armors. But they were rare in the Eastern area as they usually inhabit in the far northwestern plain. Because of their ferocity, they were rarely hunted. Hence, the unique mane gained popularity among collectors.

As for the red ring, it was even more incredible.

It was a blood crystal.

Usually, mutants would form crystals around the nerve center as a highly efficient energy storage device. But blood crystals were unique on its own. Although they were created with the same elements, blood crystals' energy storage was thousands of times greater. A piece the size of a thumb could be compared to the energy generated from one kilogram of fissile material through nuclear fission.

But what was beyond comprehension was that the blood crystals' existence was stable. Despite people’s attempt, they could not use the energy inside. Not even human - the mutants who generated the blood crystal themselves couldn’t utilize the energy inside. Precisely, any mutant who creates these blood crystals would be the failure of the spices.

The extraordinary potential and rarity of blood crystals made them a luxurious collector item, especially favored by the nobles in the Northern Alliance Area.

By this point, the man’s identity couldn’t be more obvious.

He came from the north, and his status was prestigious.

”Mr. Troy, what’s the progress for your soldiers?” Bo Yu put his hands in his pocket as he asked the mutated human standing beside him.

”The outpost is already established,” Troy cracked a smile exposing his fearsome red gum, ”Once the last batch of the armored trucks is completed, my team can head out.”

”Oh? Is that right?” The man in luxurious clothes seemed to be nonchalant to the answer of the mutated human leader as his reply was short.

Silence ensued between the two.

The mutated human called Troy seemed to be fearful of the power coming out of the man from the Northern Alliance, even though this place was thousands of kilometers away from the Northern Alliance, even though this place was his home base.

”Seeing your own people suffer, do you not have any thoughts in your mind?” Troy cracked a smile as he asked disrespectfully.

”We are different from monsters, we don’t have to possess those extraneous herd mentality.” Bo Yu laughed, not bothered at all.

Troy’s eyes narrowed.

The fact that they have always viewed highly of themselves meant that they were particularly sensitive to the fact that humans categorize them as mutated creatures.

”Sorry, I have a phone call.” Bo Yu shrugged as he walked to the side, then he pressed the phone to his earlobe.

”Hello?”

”Oh… This is unfortunate then, okay. Mhmm… Keep monitoring their movements. The name is Jiang Chen right? Interesting, I am going to hang up.”

Troy stared gravely at his position.

”Sorry buddy, your outpost seems to be gone.” Bo Yu ignored the unfriendliness as he casually strolled beside him.

Troy's throat moved, he didn’t overthink it. But the expression on this man’s face made him uncertain.

Simultaneous, a mutated human ran from the distance. The frightened look on his face, even from afar in the heavy snow, was clearly visible.

Troy’s eyebrows twitched as he looked at Bo Yu on the side. The grin on his face triggered him.

But he couldn’t be angry right now.

”Leader, our force stationed in Shenxiang town-”
